Covid Inquiry live: Boris Johnson arrives early for two days of evidence
The conduct of former prime minister has been a frequent talking point during the UK Covid inquiry.
Boris Johnson will face the first of two days of questioning over his handling of the pandemic when he appears before the UK Covid-19 Inquiry.
It's off to a bad start, with the former prime minister denying deleting WhatsApp messages after it emerged he had not been able to provide the inquiry with any communications from February to June 2020.
The highly anticipated appearance by Mr Johnson is expected to see him admit that his government made mistakes in its response to the virus, but argue that its decisions ultimately saved lives.
